Eclipse AVN700 to CarPC

DirtyRed · 06-02-2006, 08:21 PM

I was curious, I have an Eclipse AVN7000. As you pob know it has a touch screen. My question is can I use the touch screen function to control a computer? Also, How would I connect the computer to the head unit? TIA

nope, you cant use the touchscreen from the eclipse unit (well i guess anything is possible...but you'd probably have to be a prodigy at programming and what not). what you can do is hook up the computer and make an interface that will allow you to controll all the functions of the car pc through a different interface (for example, bmw's i-drive) There are a few people that have gone touch screen-less and have no problems.

you will have to sacrafice image quality though since you'll have to go into the eclipse headunit with a component level input and not vga
